Heart It
Les Calanques, Marseille, France
This special spot was made famous in the climbing world by the hard spot-crags of La Grotte de l'hermite (The Hermit Cave) and l'Ours (The Bear), among others. Most of these were developed and chipped by climbers (using a drill hammer to manufacture holds), making use of the steep, often horizontal rock faces to create physical, athletic routes. This practice was seen as a way to create new challenges, and was particularly common during the 1990s.
